About Us

Capital W is a women's business club at the UNSW Australian School of Business, dedicated to developing, motivating and educating the talented women of today to become future business leaders.

We hold small, intimate workshops and larger-scale networking events to assist in expanding your corporate networks and knowledge of the corporate work, as well as developing your 'soft' skills.

Capital W was founded in 2007 by UNSW Co-op students as a grassroots approach to bridging the gap between university and the corporate world.

Our Vision

To form a business-related women's club with a reputation for attracting talented female students and equipping them with the skills and networks to become future business leaders.

We hold small, intimate workshops and larger-scale networking events to assist in expanding your corporate networks and knowledge of the corporate world as well as developing your 'soft' skills.

At Capital W, we recognise that having access to as much information as possible helps you to make informed career decisions. Throughout the year, we hold various information and networking events with our Sponsors and Capital W members, to assist you in the decision making process.

At Capital W, we understand that males and females learn differently. This is why we run events just for female students. We tailor the content of our events so that it focuses on developing your soft skills in a collaborative learning environment, where the other participants are just as vital to your learning experience as the presenter. 

Our Executive Team

		Yasaman Naghiloo   Co-President Fifth year, Commerce (Economics, Finance) / Economics (Honors in Econometrics) Where is the best coffee on campus? As a business student, you will probably spend most of your time at lower/middle campus, so I am constantly going to The Whitehouse. Otherwise, Cafe Brioso (coffee cart next to the Library Lawn) is a must for great coffee! Where is your favourite place to study? The only place I can study is at home, as I have plenty of space to spread out all my study materials and it is quiet! It has consequently become my favourite place to study
		Jennifer Rah   Co-President Fourth year, Commerce (Finance, Business Economics) / Economics (Econometrics) What is your favourite thing about Capital W? The relationships that I have built with the Capital W members and alumni is definitely the most valuable experience for me. The alumni continue to provide me with great advice and they are all inspirational role models. What's the best advice you've ever received? Keep the bigger picture in mind - at times we may get caught up in getting the smaller details correct, but don't forget the end goal.
		Karen Zhuang   Vice President Fifth year, Commerce (Finance, Marketing) / Arts (Chinese Studies) What is your favourite place to study? Main library What do you know now, that you wish you had known in first year? Ask lots of questions! The more you know, the better.
		Julie Ho   Secretary Fifth year, Commerce (Accounting, Finance) What is your favourite thing about Capital W? Working closely with an awesome executive team to organise workshops and networking events that aim to educate, inspire and motivate future female business leaders.

		Jewel Zhu   Treasurer Third year, Commerce (Finance) / Law Where is the best food on campus? I'm still trying to find somewhere that beats the Whitehouse's wedges! What is the best advice you've ever received? Choose a career path that truly interests and motivates you, because the balance between work and life suddenly becomes much easier.
		Natarsha Terreiro   Communications Director Third year, Commerce (Marketing, Management) / Arts (Media, Culture and Technology) What is the best advice you've ever received? My dad always used to tell me, "It's not what happens, it's how you deal with it"  What do you know now, that you wish you had known in first year? Get involved in things! Getting involved in clubs and societies makes uni so much more interesting and fun, and it's a great way to make friends and meet new people, while getting valuable experience, both personally and professionally.

The events that Capital W holds extend beyond networking - the workshops help provide skills that are applicable to a variety of activities, ranging from application processes, to making a lasting first impression. What is your favourite place to study? The Law Library. It's always nice and quiet in there!
		Cynthia Pow   Student Liaison Director Fourth year, Commerce (Marketing) Where is the best food on campus? Stock Market Kitchen if you're on upper campus, Whitehouse if you're at middle campus, and Bar Navitas if you're at lower campus! What is your favourite thing about Capital W? Being involved in Capital W has diversified and most definitely positively enhanced my university experience. I'm constantly meeting new and exciting people, and I'm very appreciative of the brilliant opportunities that stem from the numerous small and large events and workshops.
